I think I fixed the issue with 4K broadcasts :crossed_fingers:

#1312

you did however, i do not see any channels that are playing in 4K recently, they only broadcast for special events I believe.

I just deleted the variable all together. Looks like @m0ngr31 fixed the issue with it though so you can disregard my misinformation.

Upvoting SNY and the YES network portion of this request. As always, @m0ngr31 great work, this is the best!

On a similar note there are no Fox NFL games in the guide for E+ today, been a long time since I've seen one.

that was my point I was trying to get across.lol

Okay, I figured out why that's happening. 2.1.3 fixes this issue. If you update now you'll be able to watch some of the last half of the game :sweat_smile:

#1318

sounds good, but my nas is not saying there is a update like it had before, any reason for that?

thanks

#1319

Any word on the SNY network or the YES network being added?

@m0ngr31 I have MSG+ all setup and it's working great. However, while watching hockey the refresh rate is bothering my eyes. Not sure exactly what the issue is, but I see that my other recording is 59fps, and that these recordings are 29.9fps. both are using the MSG feed, I'm using the Chrome Capture feature on a dedicated mini PC for the other recording. Any thoughts here?

Thanks so much,
Seth

Although unusual for a sports network, MSG Network produces their broadcasts in 1080i which is 29.97fps. I'm not sure what conversion processes they are doing for their web streams though.

I'm wondering if it's how they deliver for the web vs Android TV. All the streams for Android TV came through as Widevine, so I couldn't use them, but if I make it think I'm coming from Safari I can get an HLS stream. So maybe they are only delivering 29.97fps for the web? Hard to say

updated to 2.1.3 and the log showed the 4 added events after rebooting were fox nfl events (games and pregame). THANK YOU!

this has got to be rolled in to channels proper at some point right?

I seem to have lost the team broadcast bit in the guide in the last little while - is anyone else noticing that or just me? I nuked the entries and schedule files and re-pulled the image but that didn't change anything.

Thanks!

Sometimes the ESPN API is dumb and doesn't have the data. It'll probably start working in a day or 2

#1328

I've probably read that in the thread before and forgot about it :wink:

Thanks! I've really been enjoying your work, it's been a great addition to my system.

I too am getting a 404 all the way around. No guide data either:

2024/01/06 18:03:03.257257 [DVR] Fetched guide data for XMLTV-ESPNPlus in 28ms
2024/01/06 18:03:03.285608 [DVR] Indexed 0 airings into XMLTV-ESPNPlus (0 channels over 0s) + 0 skipped [16ms index]

Safe bet is on this being a configuration issue on my end, but thought I’d add it in anyway!

Checked my connection and it’s up,
